  In each of the above patent documents, each game ball sorting device launches each game performance, but in both cases, the game balls received from the game board are transferred to the first flow path and the second flow. The route to be assigned depends on the chance, or only gives the impression at the moment when the route is assigned to the more advantageous flow path.

  In Patent Document 1, when the fifth game ball enters the ball receiving port, the first to fourth game balls that precede it are not necessarily held by the rotating body. The sixth game ball is not necessarily distributed to the second flow path, and the sixth and subsequent game balls may be distributed to the second flow path, and the game balls held by the rotating body in the meantime. There will always be a situation where you cannot say for sure how much the distribution channel will change.

  The ones in Patent Documents 2 and 3 are always assigned alternately one by one, the next assigned to the first flow path is assigned to the second flow path, and the next assigned to the second flow path is the second. It is only distributed to one flow path. For this reason, when there is a superiority or inferiority in the first flow path and the second flow path, it is close to the arrival time, such as switching to a superior flow path soon or not switching to a superior flow path. It is impossible to create a gradual advantage / disadvantage situation that is far away.

  In the case of Patent Document 4, only when two game balls are held in a row at the same time on the ball holding portion that opens to one side, only the game balls held on the outside are set to the right start opening with a high probability of hitting. When one game ball is held in the ball holding part that is won and opened to one side and / or the other side, it must be awarded to the left starting port with a low probability of winning, Only when two or more game balls can be won, it is possible to win the right winning gate, and the distribution of the game balls greatly depends on chance.

  The problem of the present invention is that the situation of stepwise advantages and disadvantages with a distant difference close to the arrival time, such as switching to a superior flow path or not switching to a superior flow path, The object is to provide a game ball sorting device and a ball game machine that can be produced reliably and periodically in accordance with the order in which the game balls are received, and that are capable of launching an unprecedented novel game performance.

The game ball sorting apparatus according to the present invention, as illustrated in the drawings,
A game ball sorting device that sorts the game balls P received from the ball receiving port 80 into the receiving passage 800 into a first channel 81 and a second channel 82,
A ball detector 83 that contacts the game ball P received in the receiving passage 800 and is displaced by a predetermined angle;
A first delivery portion 845 that distributes the first number N1 of the plurality of game balls P received in the receiving passage 800 to the first flow path 81 for the first number N1 that is a predetermined number is a first face that faces directly below the receiving passage 800 . The operation mode and the second delivery portion 847 for distributing the game balls P received in the receiving passage 800 to the second flow path 82 for a predetermined second number N2 smaller than the first number are provided in the receiving passage 800. A pendulum-like switching body 84 that swings around a pendulum shaft 842, which alternately switches between the second operating mode facing directly below ;
A conversion mechanism 85 comprising a cam 851 for converting the displacement of the sphere detector 83 into switching of the operation mode of the switching body 84 according to the ratio of the first number N1 to the second number N2, and a lever 859 driven by the cam 851. the door is provided,
When the operating load is applied to the lever 859 by the cam 851, the operation mode is switched to the second operation mode. When the operation load to the lever 859 is released by the cam 851, the operation mode is switched to the first operation mode. Have a matter.

  Thereby, according to the receiving order from the ball receiving port 80, the game balls P are distributed to the first flow path 81 for the first number N1 that is a plurality, and the second flow path for the second number N2 that is equal to or less than the first number. 82, and these are repeated as one cycle. If the distribution to the second flow path 82 is more advantageous than the distribution to the first flow path 81, the second number which is more advantageous by reaching the first number N1 at the time of distribution to the first flow path 81. The expectation given to the player can be raised step by step depending on whether the switching to the flow path 82 is still or soon. On the other hand, if the distribution to the second flow path 82 is disadvantageous compared to the distribution to the first flow path 81, the second number that is unfavorable by reaching the first number N1 at the time of distribution to the first flow path 81. Depending on whether the channel 82 is switched to the channel 82 or not, the feeling of throbbing and pounding given to the player can be raised step by step.

In addition, since the larger game ball is distributed when the operation load applied to the lever 859 by the cam 851 is released, smooth and efficient distribution can be performed.

  In the above game ball sorting device, the ball contact portion 830 provided on the outer periphery of the ball detector 83 is recessed into a circular arc from the upstream side to the downstream side of the passage 800 through which the game ball P passes. 871 and 872 are preferably faced in rush. Thereby, the detection of the game ball P by the ball detector 83 can be ensured.

  Further, when the recessed grooves 871 and 872 are provided, guide projections 891 and 892 for guiding the game ball P to the recessed grooves 871 and 872 are provided in the passage 800 of the game ball P corresponding to the recessed grooves 871 and 872. Preferably it is provided. Thereby, the detection of the game ball P by the ball detector 83 can be made more reliable.

  Further, in the above game ball sorting device, a sorting status notifying means for reporting in a recognizable manner of the first number N1 among the first number N1 of the game ball sorting to the first flow path 81. 8D is preferably provided. Thereby, at the time of distribution to the first flow path 81, it can be recognized more clearly whether the first number N1 has been reached and switching to the second flow path 82 is not yet performed. .

The ball ball game machine according to the first aspect of the present invention is a game in which the game ball P received in the receiving passage 800 from the ball receiving port 80 is distributed to the first flow path 81 and the second flow path 82 on the game board 2. A ball game machine provided with a ball sorter 8,
The game ball sorting device 8 includes a plurality of ball detectors 83 that are in contact with the game balls P received in the receiving passage 800 and displaced by a predetermined angle, and a plurality of game balls P received in the receiving passage 800. A first operation mode in which a first delivery portion 845 that distributes a certain first number N1 to the first flow path 81 faces directly below the reception passage 800 and the game ball P received in the reception passage 800 is the first A pendulum shaft 842 that alternately switches between a second operating mode in which a second delivery portion 847 that distributes the second flow path 82 to a predetermined second number N2 that is smaller than the number is opposed to the second passage 82 directly below the receiving passage 800 . A pendulum-like switching body 84 that swings around, and a cam 851 that converts the displacement of the ball detection body 83 into a switching of the operation mode of the switching body 84 according to the ratio of the first number N1 to the second number N2. The cam 8 And a conversion mechanism 85 comprising a lever 859 which is driven to 1, when the action of the operating load to the lever 859 by the cam 851, switched to the second operating mode, the operating load to the lever 859 by the cam 851 At the time of release, it is designed to switch to the first operating mode,
Among the predetermined superior side game value and the inferior side game value given relative superiority by entering the first flow path 81 into the game balls distributed to the first flow path 81, The inferior side start port 8X is provided as an opportunity to give the inferior side game value at a higher rate than the superior side game value.
In the second flow path 81, by entering the game balls distributed to the second flow path 82, the superior side game value becomes an opportunity to give the superior side game value at a higher rate than the inferior side game value. It has a specific item provided with a starting port 8Y.

  Here, the “starting opening” means a winning opening related to winning a game ball that will operate either one predetermined special electric accessory or one predetermined special symbol display device. (Rules for Approval of Gaming Machines and Type Approval (hereinafter referred to as Gaming Machine Rules) Article 6 Attached Table 2 (2)).

  As a result, when the allocation to the inferior side start port 8X is continued, the interest can be gradually increased as the allocation to the superior side start port 8Y approaches, and an unprecedented novel gameplay is launched. be able to.

In the ball ball game machine according to the first aspect described above, the game board 2 is opened on condition that the gate GT for passing the game ball P and the winning in the normal symbol lottery triggered by the ball passage to the gate GT are used. Winning in the big winning lottery triggered by the ordinary electric accessory GD, the start opening 8Z with a variable winning device provided with the normal electric accessory GD at the entrance, and the starting openings 8X, 8Y, 8Z It has a grand prize opening 9 that is open to the conditions,
The superior side game value is larger than the case of the inferior side game value in terms of the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory GD after the big hit game that opens the big winning opening 9. With this, it is a time-saving big hit with high lottery efficiency triggered by entering the starting port 8Z with the variable winning device,
The inferior side game value is smaller than that in the case of the superior side game value, after the big hit game that opens the big winning opening 9, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the normal electric accessory GD. Thus, it is preferable that the non-temporal and short-term hit is low because the lottery efficiency is low when the player enters the starting port 8Z with the variable winning device.

Here, the “ordinary electric accessory” is an electric accessory that opens or enlarges the entrance of a prize opening other than the grand prize opening, and a game ball wins a specific prize opening or It means that it operates when it passes through a gate or when a specific symbol combination is displayed (Attached Rules 2 (2) E of the Game Machine Regulations Article 6).
“Large winning opening” means a winning opening which, when an accessory is activated, makes it easier to win a prize (Attachment 2 (2) D of the Game Machine Rules, Article 6). “Functions” means special equipment that facilitates winning a prize (the fifth of pachinko machines in the table of Article 7 of the Law Enforcement Regulations on Regulations on Customs Business and Optimization of Business) .

  The term “big hit” as used in the present invention means that the “actual accessory continuous actuating device” defined in Article 6 Attached Table 2 (2) h of the gaming machine rule operates. Note that the “continuous actuating device” means a special device capable of continuously operating a special electric accessory (Attachment Rules 2 of Article 6 (2) H), The “thing” means an electric accessory that opens or enlarges the entrance of the big prize opening (Article 6 Attached Table 2 (2) G of the Amusement Machine Rules).

  As a result, the time-saving jackpot, which is the superior game value, has a significantly higher degree of advantage than the non-time bonus, which is the inferior game value, and is an excellent opportunity to win the time-jacket, which is the superior game value. The timing for switching to the second flow path 82 where a winning is made to the start port 8Y on the side becomes long-awaited, and it becomes difficult to stop the game when the switching timing to the second flow path 82 approaches. Improvement can be achieved effectively.

  Further, in this case, by entering the start opening 8Z with the variable prize device, the specification for giving the time bonus for the superior game value at a higher rate than the non-time bonus for the inferior game value. It is preferable to make it. As a result, by winning the short and large hits when the ball enters the superior start port 8Y by the allocation to the second flow path 82, the ball enters the start port 8Z with the variable winning device again. You can also expect to win a junior high, and you can expect a large number of balls to appear. For this reason, the switching to the second flow path 82 becomes a further concern of the player, and the improvement of the game performance can be achieved more effectively.

The second aspect of the ball game machine according to the present invention is different from the first aspect of the ball game machine,
In the first flow path 81, among the predetermined superior game value and the inferior game value given a relative superiority or inferiority by entering the game balls P distributed to the first flow path 81, A superior start port 8X2 is provided as an opportunity to give the superior game value at a higher rate than the inferior game value.
The inferior side, which is an opportunity to give the inferior game value at a higher rate than the superior game value by entering the second flow path 82 with the game balls P distributed to the second flow path 82. There is a specific matter provided with the starting port 8Y1.

  Thereby, when the distribution to the dominant start port 8X2 on the first flow path 81 side continues, the game can be continued with peace of mind, and the inferior start port on the second flow path 82 side. As the distribution to 8Y1 gets closer, the mind becomes calmer, and exciting game play that is not possible in the past can be launched.

In the above-described ball game machine of the second aspect, the game board 2 includes a gate 3 for passing the game ball P through the third start port 8Z1 different from the superior and inferior start ports, and the gate. The electrification with the normal electric symbol GD that is open on the condition of winning the normal symbol lottery triggered by the passing of the ball to the GT, and the big hit lottery triggered by the entrance to the starting ports 8X2, 8Y1, 8Z1 It has a grand prize opening 9 that is open to the conditions,
The normal electric accessory GD is provided at the ball receiving port 80 of the game ball sorting device 8;
The superior side game value is larger than the case of the inferior side game value in terms of the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory GD after the big hit game that opens the big winning opening 9. In this case, it is assumed that the rate of entrance to the ball receiving port 80 is high and short and big hit,
The inferior side game value is smaller than that in the case of the superior side game value, after the big hit game that opens the big winning opening 9, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the normal electric accessory GD. Thus, it is preferable that the non-time-saving hit with a low entrance rate to the ball receiving port 80 is obtained.

  As a result, the non-temporal jackpot, which is the inferior game value, has a significantly higher disadvantage than the short-time bonus, which is the superior game value, and the inferior side that triggers the acquisition of the non-temporal bonus, which is the inferior game value. However, when the switch to the second flow path 82 is far away, it is safer and more worrying, but when switching to the second flow path 82, “Do not hit the jackpot”. Even the psychology of can work effectively and can produce an exciting and thrilling feeling.

  Further, in this case, by entering into the third starting port 8Z1, the non-temporal bonus value which is the inferior game value is given at a higher rate than the temporary bonus value which is the superior game value. It is preferable. As a result, it can be expected that the third start opening 8Z1 will enter the game ball distribution device 8 because the player is expected to win the non-time and short hits at a high rate. May encourage emphasis on the games to be accepted. For this reason, the worry at the time of switching to the 2nd flow path 82 can be periodically inserted through the whole game, and the exciting game nature which was not before can be launched more effectively.

  In the above ball game machine of the first mode or the second mode, the second number N2 is set to a plurality, and when switching to the second operation mode, the plurality of second numbers N2 are consecutive. It is also preferable that the second channel 82 be distributed. In this case, an advantageous situation or an unfavorable situation due to switching to the second flow path 82 will continue to some extent, and a game situation like a chance zone or a danger zone can be effectively created.

The ball ball game machine according to the third aspect of the present invention is a game in which the game ball P received from the ball receiving port 80 into the receiving passage 800 is divided into the first flow channel 81 and the second flow channel 82 on the game board 2. A ball game machine provided with a ball sorter 8,
The game ball sorting device 8 includes a plurality of ball detectors 83 that are in contact with the game balls P received in the receiving passage 800 and displaced by a predetermined angle, and a plurality of game balls P received in the receiving passage 800. A first operation mode in which a first delivery portion 845 that distributes a certain first number N1 to the first flow path 81 faces directly below the reception passage 800 and the game ball P received in the reception passage 800 is the first A pendulum shaft 842 that alternately switches between a second operating mode in which a second delivery portion 847 that distributes the second flow path 82 to a predetermined second number N2 that is smaller than the number is opposed to the second passage 82 directly below the receiving passage 800 . A pendulum-like switching body 84 that swings around, and a cam 851 that converts the displacement of the ball detection body 83 into a switching of the operation mode of the switching body 84 according to the ratio of the first number N1 to the second number N2. The cam 8 And a conversion mechanism 85 comprising a lever 859 which is driven to 1, when the action of the operating load to the lever 859 by the cam 851, switched to the second operating mode, the operating load to the lever 859 by the cam 851 At the time of release, it is designed to switch to the first operating mode,
The first flow path 81 opens to the game board 2,
Corresponding to the second flow path 81, the game balls P distributed to the second flow path 82 are entered, and the first start opening serving as an opportunity to give a predetermined game value by the entry is provided. 8X3 (or 8X4) with specific items provided.

In addition, a further developed form of the ball game machine according to the third aspect of the present invention is:
There are a plurality of game ball sorting devices 8,
Each game ball sorting device 8 is provided with a ball detector 83, a switching body 84, and a conversion mechanism 85 similar to the above.
The upstream game ball sorting device 8 located on the upstream side and the downstream game ball sorting device 8 located on the downstream side are connected to the ball receiving port 80 of the downstream game ball sorting device. The game balls distributed to the 8 second flow paths 82 are connected in cascade so as to be received,
In correspondence with the second flow path 82 of the most downstream game ball sorting device 8 located on the most downstream side, the game balls P distributed to the second flow path 82 on the most downstream side are entered, and the incoming balls Thus, there is a specific matter in which 8X3 (or 8X4) first start ports serving as a trigger for giving a predetermined game value are provided.

As a result, the number of game balls obtained by raising the number of (first number N1 + second number N2) / second number N2 to the power of (number of game ball sorting devices 8) is the number of game ball sorting devices 8 located in the uppermost stream. When the ball is received in the ball receiving port 80, one game ball enters the first start port 8X3 (or 8X4).
For example, if the first number N1 is 7, the second number N2 is 1, and the number of game ball sorting devices 8 is 1, 8 game balls obtained by raising (7 + 1) / 1 to the power of 8 are accepted. Then, one game ball enters the first start port 8X3 (or 8X4). When the first number N1 is 7, the second number N2 is 1, and the number of game ball sorting devices 8 is 3, when 512 game balls obtained by raising (7 + 1) / 1 to the power of 3 are received, One game ball enters one start port 8X3 (or 8X4). Further, when the first number N1 is 6, the second number N2 is 2, and the number of game ball sorting devices 8 is 2, 16 game balls obtained by squaring (6 + 2) / 2 4 are accepted. Then, one game ball enters the first start port 8X3 (or 8X4). Further, when the first number N1 is 3, the second number N2 is 1, and the number of game ball sorting devices 8 is 2, 16 game balls obtained by squaring (3 + 1) / 1 4 are accepted. Then, one game ball enters the first start port 8X3 (or 8X4).

  Therefore, it is possible to enter the first starting port 8X3 at a certain ratio with respect to the predetermined number of received game balls, and it is possible to improve a slump or the like in which a low ball-out situation continues for a long time.

In the above-described third embodiment of the ball game machine, the game board 2 is opened on condition that the gate GT for passing the game ball P and the winning in the normal symbol lottery triggered by the ball passage to the gate GT are used. A start opening 8Z3 with a variable winning device provided with an ordinary electric accessory GD, and a grand prize opening 9 that is opened on condition of winning in the big hit lottery triggered by entering the start openings 8X3 and 8Z3. ,
The gate GT is provided so that a game ball that has passed through the gate GT can be received in a ball receiving port 80 of the game ball sorting device 8;
The predetermined game value to be given upon entering the first starting port 8X3 is the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the normal electric combination after the big hit game related to the opening of the big winning port 9 It is preferable to make the time and big hit with high lottery efficiency triggered by entering the starting port 8Z3 with the variable winning device by making the opening time of the object GD longer than normal.

  As a result, the number of game balls obtained by raising (the first number N1 + the second number N2) / the second number N2 to the power of (the number of game ball sorting devices) is received in the ball receiving port 80 of the game ball sorting device 8. If a single game ball enters the first start opening 8X3 and wins the big hit lottery triggered by the entry to the first start opening 8X3, the game will win a big hit with a pseudo ceiling. Can do. Therefore, a big hit lottery triggered by a ball entering the start opening 8Z3 with a variable winning device provided with a normal electric accessory GD that is released on condition that the normal symbol lottery is triggered by passing the ball to the gate GT Even if it is difficult to win, a relief will be made. Moreover, since the big hit by the pseudo ceiling can be expected to be a time and big hit with high lottery efficiency triggered by entering the start opening 8Z3 with a variable winning device, the entrance to the first start opening 8X3 is triggered. The game value given to the game becomes sufficiently high, and a unique game can be launched.

  Furthermore, in this case, the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery after the big hit game related to the opening of the big winning opening 9 at the time of winning in the big hit lottery triggered by entering the starting opening 8Z3 with the variable winning device In addition, by making the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory GD longer than usual, it is possible to give a time-saving hit with high lottery efficiency triggered by entering the starting port 8Z3 with the variable winning device. It is preferable.

  As a result, it is also possible to expect another time and big win per time triggered by entering the starting port 8Z3 with a variable winning device by obtaining a time and big hit when triggered by the first starting port 8X3. You can expect a large number of big hits due to consecutive big hits. For this reason, the big hit by the pseudo ceiling by entering the first start port 8X3 becomes a more effective remedy, and the game performance can be further improved.

  According to the game ball sorting device and the ball game machine according to the present invention, it is far from the arrival time, such as switching to the superior flow path or not switching to the excellent flow path. A stepwise advantageous and unfavorable situation with a difference can be created reliably and periodically according to the order in which the game balls are received, and a novel gameplay that has never existed before can be launched.

  In addition, the mounting base 8B continuously swings the game balls P received from the ball receiving port 80 into the receiving passage 800 into the first flow path 81 for a predetermined first number N1 (for example, seven). A first operation mode (indicated by a dotted line in FIG. 1) to be divided and a second number N2 (for example, one) of a predetermined number of game balls P received from the ball receiving port 80 into the receiving passage 800 are equal to or less than the first number. A pendulum-like switching body 84 that alternately switches between a second operation mode (a mode indicated by a solid line in FIG. 2) that is distributed to the two flow paths 82 is supported. Further, a conversion mechanism 85 is provided on the back side of the mounting base 8B to convert the displacement of the sphere detector 83 into switching the operation mode of the switching body 84 according to the ratio of the first number N1 to the second number N2. Reference numeral 88 denotes a second slit for operating the cam 851 of the conversion mechanism 85 without interruption.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the sphere detector 83 has a sphere contact portion 830 that is recessed into an arc shape of the total number (1 + 7 = 8) of the first number N1 and the second number N2. The contact portion 830 is provided for 360 degrees around the adjacent convex tooth portion 831. One spherical contact portion 830 that is sequentially positioned at a specific position, for example, at the top, has a rotation restricting body 832 made of a thin leaf spring that follows the arc surface of the spherical contact portion 830, and faces counterclockwise when viewed from the right side. The ball detector 83 is brought into contact with a predetermined posture and an appropriate biasing force so that the rotation of the ball detector 83 can be smoothly performed by a predetermined angle. A rotating shaft 833 that rotates integrally with the ball detector 83 is rotatably supported by a pair of bearings 834 and 835 that project from the back side of the mounting base 8B. The rotating shaft 833 includes components of the conversion mechanism 85. The plate-like cam 851 is connected so as to rotate integrally.

  The cam in the present invention refers to a specially shaped original node that gives a required periodic motion to the follower by direct contact with the follower having a contact, and the direct contact with the follower is at least one cycle. What is done in the period is enough. The cam 851 is integrally provided with an operation piece 852 that protrudes in correspondence with one tooth portion 831 of the ball detector 83. A follower driven by a cam 851, which is the original joint, is another component of the conversion mechanism 85. A contact 853 that contacts the operation piece 852 of the cam 851 is provided at one end, and a semicircular shape of the switching body 84 is provided at the other end. Each has a pin 841 projecting from the rear of the base 840 and an interlock 855 that is interlocked via an elongated hole 854, and the contact-side arm 856 and the interlock-side arm 857 are L-shaped with the swing shaft 858 interposed therebetween. A lever 859 is used.

  The lever 859 is constantly urged clockwise around the swing shaft 858 by a return urging body 860 formed of a winding spring, and lifts the contact 853 upward. Originally, the switching body 84 can swing around its pendulum shaft 842, but even if the game ball comes into contact with the ball detector 83 and is displaced by a predetermined angle, the operation piece 852 of the cam 851 and the contact of the lever 859 are used. When there is no pressure contact with 853, a V-shaped first delivery portion 845 formed by a divider piece 843 that rises upward in front of a semicircular base 840 and a first sliding piece 844 that extends diagonally downward to the right. In the first operation mode, the game balls received are distributed to the first flow path 81 on the right side.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when the game ball comes into contact with the ball detector 83 and is displaced by a predetermined angle, the operation piece 852 of the cam 851 comes into pressure contact with the contact 853 of the lever 859 to cause the contact 853 to move. When pushed down, the entire lever 859 is rotated around the swinging shaft 858 to displace the interlocking member 855 downward, and the pin 841 of the switching body 84 interlocking with the elongated hole 854 is pushed down. Thus, the switching body 84 is in the second position in which the V-shaped second delivery portion 847 formed by the divider piece 843 that rises upward and the second sliding piece 846 that extends obliquely downward to the left faces the receiving passage 800 directly below. Switching to the operation mode, the received game ball is distributed to the second flow path 82 on the left side.

  As shown in FIG. 5, before the game ball distributed to the left second flow path 82 contacts the ball detector 83, the switching body 84 is distributed to the right first flow path 81 as described in [1]. The first operating mode is divided. Immediately after the game ball distributed to the left second passage 82 contacts the ball detector 83, the switching body 84 is switched to the second operation mode to be distributed to the left second flow path 82, as shown in [2]. Immediately after a new game ball is received and this new game ball contacts the ball detector 83, the pressure contact between the operation piece 852 of the cam 851 and the contact 853 of the lever 859 is released as shown in [3]. The operation load applied to the lever 859 by the cam 851 is released, and the switching body 84 returns to the first operation mode in which the switching body 84 is distributed to the right first flow path 81.

  As shown in FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, the game balls are consecutive for a total of seven first numbers N <b> 1 of P <b> 1-1 to P <b> 1-7 according to the order of acceptance from the ball receiving port 80 in the order of numbers with circles. The first flow path 81 is distributed, and one second number N2 of P2-1 is distributed to the second flow path 82, and these are repeated as one cycle. 891 and 892 are guide protrusions that are provided corresponding to the recessed grooves 871 and 872 that allow the ball contact portion 830 of the ball detector 83 to face in a protruding shape, and guide the game ball to the recessed grooves 871 and 872, The upstream guide protrusion 891 once guides the game ball toward the downstream guide protrusion 892, and guides the game ball into the recessed grooves 871, 872 by rebounding from the downstream guide protrusion 892.

  FIG. 8 shows the game board 2 of the pachinko gaming machine according to the first embodiment having the above game ball sorting device 8. The game ball distribution device 8 is disposed below the effect display unit 7 including an effect display device 70 formed of a color liquid crystal display. The ball receiving port 80 is disposed corresponding to the lower part of the warp route outlet 73 at the lower center of the center, which opens the game ball taken in from the warp route inlet 72 provided on the left side of the decorative frame 71 of the effect display unit 7.

  In the front cover 8F of the game ball sorting apparatus 8, eight game balls P1-1 to P1-7, P2-2 are provided for each cycle, and the winning sensors 8x, 8y of the first or second start ports 8X, 8Y. Built-in LED lamp so that the clock advances 45 degrees each time with the game ball P2-1 (indicated by the circled circle 2) distributed to the second flow path 82 as the 12 o'clock position of the clock. Is turned on for an upper limit of a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds, and it is possible to recognize the number of the first number N1 (seven) in which the game balls are distributed to the first flow path 81 (circle 1 and Distributing status notifying means 8D is provided for notifying the switching timing of the distribution to the second passage 82, which is of interest, in order to notify the user when the circle 2 is sequentially turned on). A first flow path mark 810 (indicated by circle 1) is associated with the right first flow path 81, and a second flow path mark 820 (indicated by circle 2) is associated with the left second flow path 82. Are displayed by pasting stickers or the like.

By the way, the “effect display device” refers to a display device for effects that performs a change and a fixed stop in synchronization with a change and fixed stop of a symbol in the “special symbol display device” defined in the gaming machine rules. The “special symbol display device” means a device for displaying a combination of symbols for which the special electric accessory and the condition device are to be operated (Attached Rules 2 of the Game Machine Regulations 2 (2)). .
"Condition device" is a device whose operation is a condition necessary for the operation of an accessory continuous operation device, a combination of specific symbols is displayed, or a game ball (the accessory continuous operation device is operated) (Excluding those that open when the entrance is open or wins an enlarged grand prize opening) passes through a specific area within the big prize opening (Attachment 2 of the Rules of the Gaming Machine Rules) 2) Re).

  The first start port 8X provided corresponding to the first flow path 81 on the right side of the game ball sorting device 8 is inserted by the game balls distributed to the first flow path 81 detected by the winning sensor 8x. Use as a starting point for the inferior side, which triggers the granting of the inferior side game value at a higher rate than the superior side game value among the predetermined superior side game value and the inferior side game value with relative superiority Yes. The second start port 8Y provided corresponding to the second flow path 82 on the left side is inferior to the superior side game value by entering the game balls distributed to the second flow path 82 detected by the winning sensor 8y. It is used as a starting point on the superior side that provides an opportunity to grant at a higher rate than the game value. Here, the high rate means a predetermined value exceeding 50% and not more than 100%. That is, the other low rate is less than 50%. The same applies hereinafter.

  The game board 2 includes a gate GT for passing a game ball, an ordinary electric accessory GD composed of an electric tulip that is opened on condition that a winning in a normal symbol lottery triggered by the passage of the ball to the gate GT, Attacker 90 on condition of winning in the big hit lottery triggered by entering the third starting port 8Z with a variable winning device provided with the electric accessory GD at the entrance and the first to third starting ports 8X, 8Y, 8Z And a grand prize opening 9 that is opened by defeating the front. Unless the electric tulip, which is an ordinary electric accessory GD, is opened, the specification is such that the game ball does not enter the third starting port 8Z.

  The superior side game value can be changed by increasing the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory GD compared to the case of the inferior side game value after the big hit game that opens the big winning opening 9 It is a time-saving big hit with high lottery efficiency triggered by the third start opening 8Z with a winning device. In addition, after the big hit game that opens the big winning opening 9, the inferior side game value is set to a smaller probability of winning in the normal symbol lottery and / or the release time of the ordinary electric accessory ND than in the case of the superior side game value. Therefore, the non-time-saving big hit with low lottery efficiency is triggered by the third start port 8Z with a variable winning device. In addition, it is set as the specification which gives a high percentage of time bonuses which are the superior side game value at a higher rate than the non-time saving big hits which are the inferior side game value by entering the third start opening 8Z with a variable winning device.

  The first special symbol is changed on the first special symbol display device SD1 in the display board DB and triggered on the first display port 70X, which is the inferior side start port, and on the effect display device 70. The effect symbol is changed, and after a predetermined time has passed, the first special symbol display device SD1 and the effect display device 70 simultaneously determine whether or not to win the big win. The difference between the symbols (when winning, the first special symbol display device SD1 has “7” or “ “7”, “7”, “7”, “3”, “3”, “3”, etc. on the effect display device 70, etc., and when it is off, a bar “-” is displayed on the same SD1 and a non-three-piece design is displayed on the same 70. Derived by combination). H1, H2, H3, and H4 are first special symbol hold indicators that display the number of rights of the big hit lottery based on the entrance to the first start port 8X, which is in a maximum of four holds.

  The second special symbol on the second special symbol display device SD2 in the display board DB is triggered by the ball entering the second starting port 8Y which is the superior starting port or the third starting port 8Z with the variable winning device. And the effect symbol on the effect display device 70 are varied, and after a predetermined time has passed, the second special symbol display device SD2 and the effect display device 70 simultaneously determine whether or not to win the big win. “7” or “3” for the special symbol display device SD2, “7” “7” “7”, “3” “3” “3”, etc. for the effect display device 70. ”, And a combination of non-three-piece designs in the same 70). K1, K2, K3, and K4 are the second special symbol hold indicators that display the number of rights of the big hit lottery based on the ball entering the second start port 8Y or the third start port 8Z, which is in a maximum of four hold It is.

  Triggered by the passage of the ball to the gate GT, the normal symbol display device ND comprising the green hit lamp GL and the off-red lamp RL in the indicator board DB is alternately lit and changed, and the normal symbol lottery is green when hit The hit lamp GL is turned on, and when the hit is off, the red out lamp RL is turned on to stop. When winning in the normal symbol lottery, the ordinary electric accessory GD is opened in a predetermined manner. Of the eight LEDs e1 to e8 arranged diagonally, J1 (e3), J2 (e4), J3 (e5), and J4 (e6) are based on the passage of a ball to the gate GT, which is in a maximum of four pending. It is a normal symbol hold display device that displays the number of rights of the normal symbol lottery.

  The game board 2 has a predetermined number of rails 21, a ball return prevention piece 22, a ball stopper 23, and a predetermined number of winnings, for example, which divides a substantially circular game area 200 and guides a game ball to be launched by a launcher (not shown). Upper left winning port 24 for paying out 10 winning balls, left inner winning port 25, lower left winning port 26, right winning port 27, windmills 28a, 28b, 28c for changing the flow direction of the game ball, a game that missed the winning An out port 29 for discharging the sphere is provided. In addition, a larger number of game nails 20 are struck in the game area 200 according to a unique gauge.

  FIG. 9 shows a list of specifications of the gaming machines according to the first embodiment. The big hit lottery is executed by a microprocessor provided in a control device provided inside the gaming machine. The jackpot probability is a numerical value (for example, 0 to 65535) that can be taken by a random number for lottery lottery that is extracted when a ball enters the start ports 8X, 8Y, and 8Z, both when the probability is low and when the probability is high. For example, about 1/10 of the 65536 numerical values) is set as the winning range, 6552/65536 = about 1/10 at the low probability, and 6553/65536 = about 1/10 at the high probability. There is only a slight difference.

  In addition, the accuracy is low only when the RAM of the microprocessor is cleared, and if it is won even once per jackpot, the accuracy is high thereafter. That is, the probability variation rate is 100%. There is also no limiter that defines a predetermined maximum number of consecutive big hits counted from the first win in the big hit lottery. The big hitting ball is a count that is a limited number of winnings allowed during the maximum opening time (for example, 28 seconds) in one round in a predetermined number of rounds that is the number of repeated opening of the winning hole 9, for example, 2R (round). For example, the number is 4 counts, and the number of prize balls to be paid out for one winning prize to the big winning opening 9, for example, 15 is multiplied by 120.

  The normal symbol lottery is also executed by the microprocessor provided in the control device provided inside the gaming machine. The normal figure probability that is a hit in the normal symbol lottery is extremely low, for example, 1/65536 at the lower non-time, and extremely high, for example, 65534/65536, at the higher time. The opening specification of the electric tulip (referred to as electric Chu), which is an ordinary electric accessory GD that is released in the normal symbol lottery, has a maximum opening time of, for example, 5.5 seconds and the number of opening times of, for example, one. The ball played by the electric chew, that is, the ball that comes out by entering the third start port 8Z, is a limit number of balls allowed during the maximum opening time of 5.5 seconds, for example, 5 counts, and the start port (8X , 8Y, 8Z) is multiplied by 15 prize balls to be paid out for one winning prize, for example, three.

  When winning at the jackpot lottery in the first special symbol triggered by entering the first starting port 8X which is the inferior starting port, the first special symbol display device with a high selection rate of 95%, for example, The stop symbol at SD1 and the effect display device 70 is a jackpot symbol 1 (for example, “3” for the first special symbol display device SD1, etc., “3”, “3”, “3”, etc. for the effect display device 70). Except in the case of a time-saving state at the time of winning the big hit, it becomes a non-time-saving timeless number of 0 when the time-saving profit is not obtained after the big hit game. However, the stop symbol in the first special symbol display device SD1 and the effect display device 70 is a big hit symbol 2 (for example, “7” in the first special symbol display device SD1, etc.) The display device 70 becomes “7”, “7”, “7”, etc.), and after the big hit game, the time is shortened by 100 times. The 100 times is the upper limit of the number of jackpot lotteries in the short-time state.

  When winning the big hit lottery in the second special symbol triggered by entering the second starting port 8Y which is the starting port on the superior side or the third starting port 83 with the variable winning device, a high rate of, for example, 95% The stop symbols in the second special symbol display device SD2 and the effect display device 70 are jackpot symbols 1 (for example, “7” in the second special symbol display device SD2 and “7” “ 7 ”,“ 7 ”, etc.), and after the big hit game, the time is reduced to 100 times. However, the stop symbol in the second special symbol display device SD2 and the effect display device 70 is a big hit symbol 2 (for example, “3” in the second special symbol display device SD2, etc.) The display device 70 becomes “3”, “3”, “3”, etc., and unless the time of winning the big hit is a non-time-saving state, the time-saving profit cannot be obtained after the big hit game, Become.

  The winning at the 3rd starting port 8Z can be promoted by so-called right-hand hit within 100 times of the time reduction, and it is relatively easy to win a big hit again with a big hit probability of about 1/10 and make it a so-called consecutive resort. . Even if there is a big hit win that becomes a non-temporary short-time at a low selection rate of 5% in this villa, or even if it reaches the upper limit of 100 times of the big hit lottery in the short-time state and becomes non-temporary, the third In the case of the lottery with the second special symbol based on the winning at the starting port 8Z, even if it is not a short time, the time will be 100 times, so the villa can be revived by winning the big hit with the holding ball.

  FIG. 10 shows the gaming board 2 of the pachinko gaming machine according to the second embodiment. In the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, the game ball sorting device 8 is arranged in the right region of the game board 2, and the first flow path 81 is distributed to the first flow path 81. Out of a predetermined superior-side game value and inferior-side game value with relative superiority and inferiority by entering a game ball, the superior is an opportunity to give the superior-side game value at a higher rate than the inferior-side game value. Side start port 8X2 and a winning sensor thereof are provided, and the second channel 82 has a higher rate of inferior game value than the superior game value due to the entrance of game balls distributed to the second channel 81. The inferior side starting port 8Y1 and the winning sensor thereof are provided as an opportunity to be granted at the same time.

  In the front cover 8F of the game ball sorting apparatus 8, eight game balls P1-1 to P1-7, P2-2 are provided for each cycle, and the winning sensors 8x, 8y of the first or second start ports 8X, 8Y. Built-in LED lamp so that the clock advances 45 degrees each time the game ball P2-1 distributed to the second flow path 82 (indicated by the circled circle?) Is set at the 12 o'clock position of the clock. Is turned on for an upper limit of a predetermined time, for example, 5 seconds, and it is possible to recognize the number of the first number N1 (seven) in which the game balls are distributed to the first flow path 81 (with circled good) The distribution status notifying means 8D is provided for informing the user about the switching timing of the distribution to the second passage 82 that is of interest. Corresponding to the first flow path 81 on the right side, the first flow path mark 810 (indicating good circle), and corresponding to the second flow path 82 on the left side, second flow path mark 820 (indicating circle?) Are displayed by pasting stickers or the like.

  In addition, the game board 2 is triggered by the superior and inferior start ports 8X2, 8Y1 and another third start port 8Z1, a gate GT for allowing the game ball to pass, and the passage of the ball to the gate GT. An ordinary electric accessory GD (electric tulip) that opens on condition of winning in the normal symbol lottery, and a big winning opening that opens on condition of winning in the big hit lottery triggered by each starting port 8X2, 8Y1, 8Z1 9 and the ball receiving port 80 of the game ball sorting apparatus 8 is provided with a normal electric accessory GD. Unless the electric tulip, which is an ordinary electric accessory GD, is opened, the specification is such that the game ball does not enter the ball receiving port 80 of the game ball sorting device 8. The third start port 8Z1 is arranged in correspondence with the lower part of the warp route outlet 73 at the lower center of the center, which opens the game ball taken in from the warp route inlet 72 provided on the left side of the decorative frame 71 of the effect display unit 7.

  The superior side game value is determined by increasing the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the ordinary electric game GD after the big hit game that opens the big prize opening 9 compared to the case of the inferior side game value. The time-shortening hit is high when the entrance rate to the ball receiving port 80 of the ball sorter 8 is high. In addition, the inferior side game value should be smaller than the case of the superior side game value after the big hit game that opens the big prize opening 9 and the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the ordinary electric game GD. Therefore, the non-time-short hit is low with a low entrance rate to the ball receiving port 80 of the game ball sorting device 8. In addition, it is set as the specification which gives the non-time savings big hit which is an inferior side game value at a higher rate than the time saving big hit which is a superior side game value by entering to the 3rd starting port 8Z1.

  FIG. 11 shows a list of specifications of the gaming machines according to the second embodiment. The big hit lottery is executed by a microprocessor provided in a control device provided inside the gaming machine. The jackpot probability is a numerical value (for example, 0 to 65535) that can be taken by a random number for jackpot lottery that is extracted when a ball is entered into each of the start ports 8X2, 8Y1, and 8Z1 when the lower probability is higher and when the higher probability is higher. For example, about 1/10 of the 65536 numerical values) is set as the winning range, 6552/65536 = about 1/10 at the low probability, and 6553/65536 = about 1/10 at the high probability. There is only a slight difference.

  In addition, the accuracy is low only when the RAM of the microprocessor is cleared, and if it is won even once per jackpot, the accuracy is high thereafter. That is, the probability variation rate is 100%. There is also no limiter that defines a predetermined maximum number of consecutive big hits counted from the first win in the big hit lottery. The big hitting ball is a count that is a limited number of winnings allowed during the maximum opening time (for example, 28 seconds) in one round in a predetermined number of rounds that is the number of repeated opening of the winning hole 9, for example, 2R (round). For example, the number is 4 counts, and the number of prize balls to be paid out for one winning prize to the big winning opening 9, for example, 15 is multiplied by 120.

  The normal symbol lottery is also executed by the microprocessor provided in the control device provided inside the gaming machine. The normal figure probability that is a hit in the normal symbol lottery is extremely low, for example, 1/65536 at the lower non-time, and extremely high, for example, 65534/65536, at the higher time. The opening specification of the electric tulip (referred to as electric Chu), which is an ordinary electric accessory GD that is released in the normal symbol lottery, has a maximum opening time of, for example, 5.5 seconds and the number of opening times of, for example, one. The ball played by the electric chew, that is, the ball played by entering the superior side or the inferior side starting port 8X2, 8Y1, is a count number, for example, 5 counts which is a limit number of balls allowed during the maximum opening time of 5.5 seconds. And 15 award balls, for example, 3 which are paid out for one winning prize with respect to the start opening (8X2, 8Y1, 8Z1).

  When winning at the big hit lottery in the first special symbol triggered by entering the inferior side start port 8Y1 or the third start port 8Z1, the first special symbol display at a high rate of 95%, for example, The stop symbol in the device SD1 and the effect display device 70 is a jackpot symbol 1 (for example, “3” for the first special symbol display device SD1, etc., “3”, “3”, “3”, etc. for the effect display device 70). It becomes a non-temporal timeless number of time reductions 0 when a timeless profit cannot be obtained after the game. However, the stop symbol in the first special symbol display device SD1 and the effect display device 70 is a big hit symbol 2 (for example, “7” in the first special symbol display device SD1, etc.) The display device 70 becomes “7”, “7”, “7”, etc.), and after the big hit game, the time is shortened by 100 times. The 100 times is the upper limit of the number of jackpot lotteries in the short-time state.

  When winning at the big hit lottery performed in the second special symbol with the entrance to the starting side 8X2 on the superior side, the second special symbol display device SD2 and the effect display device 70 are selected at a high rate of 100%, for example. The stop symbol at is a jackpot symbol 1 (for example, “7” etc. on the second special symbol display device SD2, etc., “7” “7” “7” etc. on the effect display device 70), etc. It becomes short.

  The winning of the game ball allocating device 8 to the ball receiving port 80 can be promoted by the so-called right-hand hit within 100 time reductions. Is relatively easy. If the starter 8Y1 is assigned to the inferior side during the retreat, the retreat is terminated at a high rate of 95% according to the selection rate of the first special symbol, but the retreat is terminated, but the rate is as low as 5%. However, there is a case where it becomes a time bonus if 100 times are saved again.

  As shown in FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, in the first embodiment or the second embodiment described above, the second number N2 to be distributed to the second flow path 82 is a plurality of, for example, three, and when switching to the second operation mode The second number N2 = 3 that is a plurality may be continuously distributed to the second flow path 82. The cam 851 is integrally provided with a fan-shaped operation piece 85T of approximately 90 degrees that protrudes in correspondence with three continuous teeth 831 of the ball detector 83.

  In the case of N2 = 3, in accordance with the order of acceptance from the ball receiving port 80 in the order of numbers with circles, the game balls are continuously flown for the first number N1 of a total of five P1-1 to P1-5. It is distributed to the path 81, and the second number N2 of the three P2-1 to P2-3 is distributed to the second flow path 82, and these are repeated as one cycle. As a result, when three consecutive game balls are distributed to the second flow path 82, the first embodiment is a chance zone and the second embodiment is a danger zone.

  FIG. 14 shows the gaming board 2 of the pachinko gaming machine according to the third embodiment. The third embodiment includes a plurality of game ball sorting devices 8, and each game ball sorting device 8 has a structure in which the one shown in FIGS. A first flow path 81 for continuously distributing the first number N1 = 7 of the game balls is provided on the left side, and a second flow path 82 for distributing the small number of the second number N2 = 1 of the game balls is provided on the right side. The game balls distributed to the first flow path 81 and the second flow path 82 are not collected on the back side of the game board 2, and the game boards are opened from the ball outlets 81J and 82J that open to the lower part of the front cover 8F. 2 is opened to the front side.

  Then, the upstream game ball sorting device 8 located in the upper part on the upstream side and the downstream game ball sorting device 8 located in the lower part on the downstream side are connected to the ball receiving port 80 of the downstream game ball sorting device 8. The most downstream game ball allocating device is connected in tandem so that the game balls distributed to the second flow path 82 on the right side of the upstream game ball allocating device 8 are received, and is located at the lowermost lowermost portion. 8, in response to the second flow path 82 on the right side of 8, the game balls distributed to the second flow path 82 on the most downstream side are inserted, and this entry is an opportunity to give a predetermined game value. The first start port 8X3 and its winning sensor are provided.

  The game board 2 includes two gates GT, GT that allow a game ball to pass, and a normal electric accessory GD (electric drive) that is opened on condition that a winning in a normal symbol lottery triggered by the passage of the ball to any gate GT is triggered. (Tulip) with a variable winning device and a start gate 8Z3, and a big winning port 9 that opens on condition of winning in the big hit lottery triggered by entering each start port 8X3, 8Z3, one gate The GT is provided so that the game ball that has passed through the gate GT can be received in the ball receiving port 80 of the most upstream game ball sorting device 8 located at the most upstream side. Unless the electric tulip, which is an ordinary electric accessory GD, is opened, the specification is such that the game ball does not enter the start opening 8Z3 with the variable prize device.

  The predetermined game value that is given when the player enters the first starting slot 8X3 is used to open the grand prize opening 9 under the condition that the predetermined number of consecutive big hits counted from the first win in the big hit lottery is not exceeded. After such a big hit game, the start opening 8Z3 with a variable winning device is triggered by increasing the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the ordinary electric accessory GD compared to the normal time before the first win in the big hit lottery It is a time and big hit with high lottery efficiency.

  In addition, when winning in the big hit lottery triggered by entering the start opening 8Z3 with a variable winning device, the big winning lot is set under the condition that the predetermined number of consecutive big hits counted from the first win in the big hit lottery is not exceeded. After winning the big hit game for 9 open, start with a variable prize device by increasing the winning probability in the normal symbol lottery and / or the opening time of the normal electric accessory GD compared to the normal time before the first win in the big win lottery The specification is such that a lottery win with a lottery efficiency with the mouth 8Z3 is given.

  The special symbol is only the first special symbol, there is no second special symbol, and the first special symbol on the first special symbol display device SD1 in the display board DB is triggered by the entrance to each start port 8X3, 8Z3. And the effect symbol is varied on the effect display device 70 (the decorative frame 71 has no warp route), and after a predetermined time has passed, the first special symbol display device SD1 and the effect display device 70 simultaneously win or fail. The difference in the stop symbol (“7” etc. on the first special symbol display device SD1 at the time of winning, “7” “7” “7” etc. on the effect display device 70, etc. 70, a combination of non-triad symbols). There is no specification for holding balls, and no first special symbol holding indicator is provided.

  FIG. 15 shows a list of specifications of the gaming machines of the third embodiment. The big hit lottery is executed by a microprocessor provided in a control device provided inside the gaming machine. The jackpot probability is a numerical value (for example, 0 to 65535) that can be taken by a random number for the jackpot lottery that is extracted when the ball enters the start ports 8X3 and 8Z3 at both the low and low probability. Most of the winning ranges are 65533/65536 = about 1/1 when the likelihood is low, and 65534/65536 = about 1/1 when the probability is high. In both cases, when the ball enters the start port 8X3, 8Z3, it is almost a big hit.

  In addition to the low probability when the RAM of the microprocessor is cleared, there is a limiter that prescribes a predetermined maximum number of consecutive big hits, for example 30 times, counted from the first win in the big hit lottery even though the probability variation rate is 100%, When the limiter is activated in the 30th big hit, it becomes less probable (at the same time non-temporary). The big hitting ball is a count that is a limited number of winnings allowed during the maximum opening time (for example, 28 seconds) in one round in a predetermined number of rounds that is the number of repeated opening of the winning hole 9, for example, 2R (round). For example, one count and a big hit of 12 shots multiplied by the number of winning balls to be paid out per winning prize 9 such as 6, for example, are significantly reduced.

  The normal symbol lottery is also executed by the microprocessor provided in the control device provided inside the gaming machine. The normal figure probability that is a hit in the normal symbol lottery is relatively difficult to hit, for example 1/256, when the lower time is short, and almost wins, for example, 254/256 = about 1/1, when the higher time is short It is said. The opening specification of the electric tulip (referred to as electric Chu), which is an ordinary electric accessory GD that is released in the normal symbol lottery, has a maximum opening time of, for example, 5.5 seconds and the number of opening times of, for example, one. The ball played by the electric chew, that is, the ball played by entering the start opening 8Z3 with a variable winning device, starts with a count number, for example, 5 counts, which is the limit number of balls allowed during the maximum opening time of 5.5 seconds. 50 shots are obtained by multiplying the number of prize balls to be paid out for one winning prize for the mouth (8X3, 8Z3), for example, 10 balls, and the so-called electric chew is used to increase the number of balls.

  When winning at the jackpot lottery in the first special symbol triggered by the entrance to each starting port 8X3, 8Z3, the first special symbol display device SD1 and the effect display device 70 at a high selection rate of 100%. The stop symbol is a jackpot symbol 1 (for example, “7” in the first special symbol display device SD1, etc., “7”, “7”, “7”, etc. in the effect display device 70), and the next jackpot is re-winned after the big hit game. Until the next time you can get unlimited time profits.

  However, when the limiter is activated, the stop symbol in the first special symbol display device SD1 and the effect display device 70 is a jackpot symbol 1 (for example, “7” in the first special symbol display device SD1, etc., and “7” in the effect display device 70). “7”, “7”, etc.), it becomes a non-short time of 0 times when the time-saving profit is not obtained after the big hit game, and the retreat is terminated.

  As a generation route of the jackpot ream villa, the normal electric combination GD is released by hitting with a relatively low normal symbol lottery of 1/256, and the ball is entered into the starting port 8Z3 with a variable winning device until the next time by the first jackpot. And a route to get the time to the next time by the first big hit by entering the first starting port 8X3 by the three-stage cascade connection of the game ball sorting device 8, and various games Sex can come out. With the three-stage cascade connection of the game ball sorting device 8, whenever 512 cubed balls of 8 are received in the most upstream of the game ball sorting device 8, one always enters the first start port 8X3. It works as a so-called ceiling function and avoids slump.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the specification of FIG. 15 is partially changed, the limiter is not provided, and the special symbol specification related to the big hit lottery is selected as a stop symbol if it is in a non-time-short state at the time of winning the big hit Regardless of the jackpot symbol 1 or 2, the system shifts to the short-time state (until the next time). On the other hand, if it is the short-time state when the big hit is won, the jackpot symbol 1 selected with a predetermined high rate, for example, 98% is allocated The time-shifted state (until the next time) is reached, and when the jackpot symbol 2 is assigned at 2%, the hourly time is completed, and as long as the jackpot symbol 1 is continuously allocated at 98%, the consecutive resort will continue. Good.

  As shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, a plurality of, for example, two operation pieces 85A and 85B may be provided on the cam 851 at positions displaced by a predetermined position, for example, 180 degrees.

The first flow path 81 that distributes the game balls is provided on the left side, and the second flow path 82 that distributes the second small number N2 of game balls is provided on the right side. The game balls distributed to the road 82 are not collected on the back side of the game board 2 but are opened to the front side of the game board 2 from the respective ball outlets 81J and 82J opened at the lower part of the front cover 8F.

  In this case, by half rotation of the cam 851, that is, half rotation of the sphere detector 83, three consecutive distributions (N1 = 3) to the first flow path 81 and one single distribution to the second flow path 82 ( N2 = 1) is performed for one cycle, and by one rotation of the cam 851, that is, one rotation of the ball detector 83, the game balls are arranged according to the order of acceptance from the ball receiving port 80 in the order of numbers in circles. A total of six P1-1 to P1-6 are distributed to the first flow path 81, and a total of two P2-1 and P2-2 are distributed to the second flow path 82. Thereby, the distribution of N1: N2 = 6: 2 = 3: 1 can be performed.

The fourth embodiment includes two game ball sorting devices 8 shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, and includes an upstream game ball sorting device 8 located in the upper upstream portion and a downstream game ball shake located in the lower lower portion. The distribution device 8 is connected in cascade to the ball receiving port 80 of the downstream game ball sorting device 8 so that the game balls distributed to the second flow path 82 on the right side of the upstream game ball sorting device 8 are received. And corresponding to the second flow path 82 on the right side of the most downstream game ball sorting device 8 located at the lowermost lowermost part, the game balls distributed to the second flow path 82 on the most downstream side The first starting port 8X4 and the winning sensor for starting the jackpot lottery by the entering are provided.

  Directly below this first starting port 8X4 is equipped with a variable prize-winning device provided with an ordinary electric accessory GD (electric tulip) that opens on condition of winning in the normal symbol lottery triggered by the passage of the ball to the gate GT. General, traditional (before game machine rule revision), which has a start opening 8Z4 and opens a big winning opening 9 that is opened on condition of winning in the big hit lottery triggered by entering the start openings 8X4, 8Z4 It is applied to those having game specifications belonging to the first class from.

  The ball receiving port 80 of the uppermost game ball sorting apparatus 8 is expected to receive most of a predetermined number of game balls, for example, when the game ball is rolled leftward from the center of the game board 2 to the left. It is opened at a position where In this case, when 16 game balls enter the ball receiving port 80 of the uppermost game ball sorting apparatus 8, one winning is generated at the first start port 8X4, and 100 game balls are loaded per minute. In the case of a normal launch specification that is launched on the game board 2, 6.25 start winnings are expected per minute, and the winning interval is about 9.6 seconds, so that a winning slump can be avoided almost certainly. Even if about half of the 100 shot balls per minute are received in the ball receiving port 80 of the uppermost game ball sorting apparatus 8, 3.125 start winnings occur per minute, and the winning interval is It is about 19.2 seconds, and the avoidance of winning slump is fully realized.
